FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, though the extra padding may make them feel snug initially.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can cause the suede to stiffen and damage the structural glue; always use manual spot cleaning.
Are these suitable for professional skateboarding?
While they are inspired by skate culture, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers. For high-performance skating, consider Vans dedicated Pro series.
How do I care for the suede material?
Keep them dry and use a dry suede brush to remove dirt. If they get wet, air dry them away from direct heat sources.
What does the 3D Sidestripe signify?
It is a stylistic update to the iconic Vans stripe, adding texture and depth to the modern Knu Skool silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
The extra-large laces can be slippery; ensure you are double-knotting them to maintain a secure fit.
Suede showing water spots
Gently brush the area with a soft suede brush in one direction to lift the nap and minimize the appearance of spots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the initial fit, utilize the extra-large laces to lock in your desired tension across the midfoot. Since these feature suede construction, it is recommended to apply a protective water and stain repellent spray before first use to maintain the color vibrancy. If the suede becomes dirty, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dust and debris. Avoid machine washing your trainers, as this can damage the material and the integrity of the adhesive; instead, spot clean with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth when necessary.
